THE NEW YORKER notes, which reminded me of old- time cigar-store coupons. There was nothing on them to indicate who au- thorized them or would payoff on h . " E . F " tern-Just mzs en rancE' on one side and on the other side the tricolor and "Liberté, E galité, Fraternité." In the game were three beach-battalion officers, a medical lieutenant (j.g.) named Davey, from Philadelphia, and two ensigns-a big, ham-handed college football player from Danbury, Con- necticut, named Vaghi, and a blocky, placid youngster from Chicago named Reich. The commander of the engineer detachment, the only Army officer aboard, was a first lieutenant named Miller, a sallow, apparently nervous boy who had started to grow an am- bitious black beard. Next morning the first copy of the Stars and Stripes to arrive on board gave us sÖmething new to talk about. It car- ried the story of the premature invasion report by the Associated Press in Amer- ica. In an atmosphere heavy with una- vowed anxiety, the story hit a sour note. "Maybe they let out more than Stars find Stripes says," somebody in the ward- room said. "Maybe they not only an- nounced the invasion but told where we had landed. I mean, here we planned to land. Maybe the whole deal will be called off now." The commander, who had spent so much time pondering ele- ment C, said, "Add obstacles-ele- ment A.P." A report got about among the more pessimistic crew members that the Germans had been tipped off and would be ready for us. The Allied high command evidently did not read the Stars and Stripes, however, for Rigg, after going ashore for a brief conference, returned with the information that we were shoving off at five o'clock. I said to myself, in the great cliché of the second World War, "This is it," and so, I suppose, did every other man in our fleet of little ships when he heard the news. -i\.. J. LIEBLING (This is the first of a series of articles.) . CASE B-268: Maye D., aged 26, has been married for SIX months. "I am married to a man I h aye known for five years," she said. "We lived in dif- ferent cities and wrote to each other quite often, though we didn't have many dates. "I felt like I knew him well enough to marry him, as he had often asked me. Be- ing so lonely, I finally decided to do so. "N ow since marrying him, I find that his English grammar and vocabulary are terrible."-M iami Herald. Stick with him.
